Inbetween

Yesterday was the last day of LTU semester one. Tomorrow is the first day of LTU semester two. What a strange day today is, the day between semesters. (At least for LTU, that is. UNE semester one doesn't finish for another three weeks, and semester two won't conclude until November. Then throw in your school terms if you want to get really confusing!)

When things just work

I've had a good day today.

It feels like I've been hitting my head against a wall for the last little while, with nothing ever seeming to go to plan or turn out quite right.

Today, a simple word from a colleague encouraged me. The song I had poured so much time into last week was a huge success, and my help with the band practice had been a turning point for one student.

Going about my morning I had to stifle a goofy grin, as I reveled in the elation of when things just work.

May the fourth be with you!

Today is one of my favourite days, ranking right up there with international talk like a pirate day. To all you Star Wars fans out there, "May the fourth be with you!"
